I rode my mountain bike all the way to the old neighborhood, and waited for Janeway at the entrance of the alley, it was supposed to be a quiet night, but it was filled with noise because of a house being renovated not far away, and even the air was filled with the jerky smell of undried paint.

I was a little irritated, so I raised my wrist and looked at my watch, wishing that Janeway would come over so that I could get out of this place where my hearing was tormented.

A glare of light tore through the darkness of the night, and Janeway's car finally appeared in front of me, and before she could stop it, I walked towards her.

Janeway stepped out of the car with her handbag, and in the hazy light from the street lamp, I looked at her tired but beautiful face, and in an instant, I lost my mind.

She finally came to me, didn't look at me with a tired face, smiled and asked, "Have you waited for a long time?" ”

"It didn't take long, but it was a little noisy here, and I was annoyed!"

Janeway looked at the cigarette butt that I had stepped on underground, and seemed to want to get out of here quickly, so she said to me straight to the point, "Then give me your seal quickly." ”

I nodded, then took the stamp out of my briefcase and handed it to her, and she took it, and then carefully put it into the mezzanine of her handbag, and then looked up at the room opposite that was being renovated.

I said to her, "If nothing else, let's go our separate ways." ”

"Aren't you going home now?"

I pointed into the alley and said, "There's a flower shop in there, I'm going to do something." ”

Janeway seemed to be joking, but also said to me seriously: "You want to buy flowers for me?" ”

"Your logic is obviously wrong, isn't it? I'm going to send you flowers, and I can't say anything about the separation."

Jian Wei glanced at me indifferently, and then interrupted: "I didn't expect you to send me flowers, I sat in the office for a day today, and I was looking for a chance to walk a few steps, or I will go with you." ”

I didn't refuse Jian Wei's request, in fact, in my heart, I really wanted Jian Wei, a person living in high society, to see what kind of state Xiaoyun was living at the bottom.

If the rich still have a conscience in this society, remember the ultimate goal of common prosperity of the country, and pay more attention to those vulnerable groups living at the bottom of the society, and then do not be stingy with the wealth already in their hands, and cooperate with the state to establish a superior social security system

In the dark alley, Janeway and I walked side by side along the fence full of words, but she seemed to be a little unable to adapt to the environment here, and instinctively leaned towards my body with some unease, and I also felt the slightest depression, even the air was full of damp heaviness, as if I smelled danger.

When I finally got to the end of the alley, Xiaoyun's flower shop appeared in my sight, but the roller shutter door had been lowered, and I thought Xiaoyun had left, and I found that the shelves outside the store had not been moved into the store at all, and then I vaguely heard the sound of talking from the house.

Keeping my composure, I motioned for Janeway not to speak, and approached the roller shutter, listening to the conversation inside

Before I could hear the conversation clearly, the shutter door suddenly opened, and in front of me suddenly appeared a group of unscrupulous social workers with iron pipes, all with short hair, even bald heads, and eye-catching thick necklaces, and the store had been smashed into a mess, and Xiao Yun was sitting on the ground trembling.

A man with a scar on his face asked me, "Are you a buyer, or are you a friend of the mute?" ”

Xiao Yun shook her head at me again and again, signaling me not to talk nonsense, but I realized that there must be someone not far away, otherwise I wouldn't have just appeared in the flower shop, and the door of the shop would suddenly be opened.

I looked at the mess in the store and asked Scar Man, "You smashed the stuff inside?" ”

The scar man glared at me fiercely and said, "So, you're that dumb friend?" ”

"Whether it's a friend or not, I have to care why you smashed her shop when something like this happens?"

"Yo, I met a good man who saw uneven roads, hum, but you have to weigh how many pounds and taels you have If she doesn't pay back the money today, I will not only smash it, but also burn her shop and pour gasoline!"

"Wait, you made it clear, what money does she owe you?"

The scar man sneered again, and said: "This dumb girl's father owes a lot of gambling debts to us, and now he has run away, I don't ask her for it, who is looking for this debt is delayed by this dumb girl, I don't give her some color, she won't take out the money"

Before I could speak, Jian Wei next to me took out her mobile phone from her handbag, but the scar man walked up to her, picked up the mobile phone and smashed it on the ground, and yelled at Jian Wei: "You stinky girl, do you know who I am?" Fugitive! If you dare to call the police today, I'll fucking kill you! ”

This sudden change made Jian Wei's face show a trace of fear, but it was fleeting, and she said coldly: "I don't care if you are an outlaw or not, but you bully a woman who can't speak, if you dare to say these words to me, you will definitely regret it."

The scar man reached out to pinch Janeway's chin, and I knocked his hand off and said, "Don't do it to a woman, you are coming at me if there is something." ”

The scar man looked at me with a hideous face, and then said with a sneer: "Coming at you? Okay, we're also eating together, if we don't make a big deal out of it, we won't make a big deal out of it, you have to take care of this matter today, you just pay back the money for that dumb man, otherwise, no one wants to leave, you also saw it, the store I smashed it, I don't have the patience to wait, and if I don't pay back, I will burn this shop to the tiger, and I am still stunned, pour gasoline on me. ”

When the other man was instructed, he unscrewed the lid of the oil drum and poured gasoline around

I tried my best to keep my composure, looked around, but the surrounding businesses had already closed, the whole alley was so empty that there was no way to be empty, it was completely impossible to ask for help, and I judged in my heart that these people did not dare to really light the fire, as he himself said, it was also a mixed meal, and the consequences of arson were not something they could bear, after all, this is a society with a legal system, and no matter how hard the gasoline is poured, it is only to play a role in intimidation.

No matter how angry and impulsive I was, I wouldn't be stupid enough to get into a head-on confrontation with this group of people and say, "How much gambling debt does her dad owe you?" ”

The scar man replied: "Including interest, a total of 350,000, you'd better pay back the money for her, otherwise"

I interrupted: "350,000 yes, I'll pay it back for her, but at this time, I can't withdraw so much cash from the ATM, even if I go to the bank to withdraw it, I have to make an appointment in advance, so I hope you can give it a few more days."

"You don't play tricks on me, I'll give you time, whoever gives me time, you'd better get me the cash out now, you want fucking cash! Did you hear me clearly? The scar man said and kicked on my lower abdomen, I couldn't dodge, and immediately there was a sharp pain in the lower abdomen, and it was difficult to breathe, so I subconsciously covered my lower abdomen and half-squatted on the ground

At this time, I don't know what force drove Jian Wei, she slapped the scar man, the same unsuspecting scar man was heavily pumped by Jian Wei, he immediately lost his mind, and smashed the iron rod at Jian Wei, I was driven by instinct, and blocked in front of Jian Wei, and then there was a heart-piercing pain in the back, but I was glad that I didn't hit my head this time, and I was more expected: The scar man didn't dare to really kill him, If he was really as vicious and reckless as he appeared, he couldn't have been in this business for so long, and he would have been sanctioned by the state for negligence! But when things get to this point, it's impossible to get better!

I snatched the gasoline drum from the man who was carrying the gasoline barrel while he was not paying attention, poured it on myself, took out the lighter from my pocket, and said to the scar man with a cold smile: "Aren't you awesome, aren't you going to burn this shop?" If you're really awesome, give me some or don't fucking pretend to be a calf in front of me."

"you scare me!!" The Scar Man looked at me with a hideous face, but his tone was not as steady as it had just been.

"I put the lighter in your hand now, are you scaring me, or am I scaring you, all the brains can fucking see that you are awesome and you will order it!"

At this time, Jian Wei made a move that I will never forget for the rest of my life, she picked up the oil drum with gasoline, poured it from her head to her feet, then took my hand, gritted her teeth and said: "If you have the ability, you will give us Zhaoyang together, and I will die with you!" ”

Under the pressure of Jian Wei and me, the scar man's hand that grabbed the lighter trembled a little, and then threw the lighter into the distance, and said angrily: "Fucking bad luck, I met two neuropaths!" After speaking, he said to Xiao Yun, who was already frightened: "That's it tonight, but don't think that you can escape with this money, and if you dare to call the police, as long as you don't sentence me to death, you will kill your family if you come out." ”

As he spoke, the scar man beckoned his entourage to leave, and when he passed by Janeway and me, he scolded again: "Two psychos"

The alley was quiet again, I sniffed the smell of gasoline emanating from myself and Janeway, and then collapsed for a while, and then I couldn't sit on the ground with any strength, and there was a chilly feeling behind me, there is no absolutely correct judgment in this world, I dare not imagine: if the scar man really lit the lighter, what would be the consequences in my life, the second time I felt that I was so close to death, but I didn't know how far away from Janeway was the same way of death at that moment My soul was violently shaken at this moment!!

This seems to be the second time we have experienced living and dying together, the last time was in the moat, where our fates were so mixed in the extremes of water and fire!
